I have assumed that Lads are ... well, lads.

With this one, however, I'm wondering. It's playing the part of a female refugee, usual photos of attractive woman posing in lovely environment, normal stuff. Except for the things it says to my character (Brian the Brainless, married man, first baby due sometime):

Quote:

It is not good what you say, Brian, that the baby take too long to birth, you say this and think of your wife, you are not the one carrying it!

Quote:

I am side with your wife, Brian, of course she can call the new male puppy Sweetie, it is wrong to say Sweetie is for girls name, you think only the girls are sweet? that is bad opinion on girls, because girls small and big can be strong and if Sweetie wrong for male then wrong for female, it not saying good strong things on female.

Quote:

It is good you say your wife is big in pregnantcy because that mean big healthy baby, it not good you say she has big bottom, she need big bottom so she not fall, it is normal, you must say to her it is a good bottom for healthy person.

Quote:

Why you think mend the house is your work as man? If man go to travel for business or to visit family, woman looks after house very well, she do many things, woman and man are the same, except woman carrys babys.

Lessons about sexism from a Lad? Or from a Lass?

Disclaimer: I am female and would agree with the Lad/Lass. It is just Brian the Brainless who is a bit ... brainless.

Well, I don't know if it's a lad or a lass, but regardless, it does seem like you struck a nerve! Very Happy

I love hearing of lad/ladette irritation! Twisted Evil

Could be a lad who plays his role as female refugee the best he possibly can to make you believe him.

i remember seeing a Lass writing 419s on the computer next to me in the cafe in Ghana, so they definitely exist. Could very well be!

Maybe. Probably not, but it is possible.

Every lad I've every spoken to on the telephone (a lot, considering I ran 2 pimping services) has been male.

Either it is a lass, or a lad that is very good at keeping his role.

branwen, brian should ask for advice about how to give his wife an orgasm.
- if the scammer explains it correctly and in detail, she is a lass
- if the scammer has not got a clue or doesn't care, he is a lad

please feel free to print the reply Wink

Actually, something along those lines isn't a bad idea!

Maybe not orgasms, as I have a feeling that 'she' will just protest her ignorance due remaining pure before marriage (as if no woman in Africa has ever thought of DIY), but something that Brian wants to know about women. I just need to think of what. I mean, I assume that if the Lad is male, he may well have a wife who can provide him with the answer....

It really doesn't matter whether the scammer is male, female or hermaphrodite. It just surprised me to get more and more the feeling that I'm writing to a woman, not a man.

But, it's true, it might just be a clever-at-his-rôle Lad. He is quite smart. Long letters, intelligent questions, amazing memory or (more likely) very good records kept.

about the purity defence, i'd say try it first,
and if she protests virginity then ask her what advice her mother gave her

now i'm starting to wonder if you are really female Wink

the yorkie 'not for girls' advert suggested some foolproof ways to tell if you are addressing a man or a woman.

Quote:

A young lady enters a newsagents disguised as moustachiod builder in an attempt to buy a Yorkie bar. The newsagent, suspecting that the builder is really a woman and not a manly man and questions he/she on various things that only a manly man would know, eg How the offside rule works in soccer/football, are armpit farts funny, what's sexier stockings or tights etc. Eventually the newsagent gives in and gives her a Yorkie and says "You know that wrapper really brings out the blue in your eyes" to which she responds with a flutter of her eyelashes "Really?" giving herself away as a woman. The newsagent snatches the bar of her and she leaves the shop. Cue voice over: "Manly chunks of chocolate. Yorkie, it's not for girls".

Check the phone numbers s/he has given you. Are they all for women or all for men? I am nearly certain that one of the first scammers I kept on the hook was a woman. See the links below in my sig.

1st Phone Number - Male (the pastor)
2nd Phone Number - Female (female friend's mobile phone)

Western Union name - Male
1st Moneygram name - Male
2nd Moneygram name - Female
